Dave Jones' Republican opponent Mike Villines is strongly supported by the insurance carriers. Jones is the only real option to prevent this important regulatory post from falling into the hands of the very businesses it is supposed to regulare.

Jones is a lawyer who is supporter by lawyers who earn their living SUING insurance companies. This obviously increases costs and RATES paid by consumers. It's that simple. Insurance companies want Villines because they want to be able to compete. California doesnt have much rate competition today because companies are afraid to lower rates, due to the oppressive regulatory system, knowing they may never be able to raise them if they need to. That's why the profit margins for insurers in California are higher than the countrywide average.

Indeed you are a simpleton. Low rates do not mean good insurance. The insurers will collect your premium but they have little interest in paying your claim. There are many insurance companies who refuse to sell policies to lawyers. Why? Because they prefer not to sell to anyone who can read the policy and understand his rights. Doesn't that tell you something? Any time a regulatory agency is captured by the industry it is supposed to regulate there is trouble. Unless Jones is elected, the Insurance Commissioner's office will be captured by the insurers.
